It's nice to see that Google's homepage is honouring both St George's Day and Shakespeare's Birthday with a special Google doodle portraying a dragon and a knight. Well done, Google!

Let's celebrate England's heritage and traditions!
Happy St George's Day to you Maureen! I posted about the same thing myself earlier :-) I agree that we do need the extra public holiday but maybe we should hold it over to mid July and celebrate it then in the "scorching heat"!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brit Boy! After the beautiful weather this week, it's obvious that April can be just as warm as a typical July in England so I think today's date is fine - and it's also Shakespeare's birthday which is a perfect excuse for a double celebration!
